Hindu Nationalism

“It (is) not easy ... to draw a line between Hindu nationalism and true nationalism. The two overlap as India is the only home of Hindus and they form a majority there.” — J. Nehru in Glimpses of World History

Those who permit slaying of animals; those who bring animals for slaughter; those who slaughter; those who sell meat; those who purchase meat; those who prepare dishes out of meat; those who serve that meat and those who eat it are all murderers. — Manusmriti

National Shame!

Word of God?

When I think of all the harm the Bible has done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it.” — Oscar Wilde

"Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world." — Voltaire

"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned, [and molested]: yet we have not advanced one inch towards humanity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support error and roguery all over the earth." — Thomas Jefferson

Peter … invited Jashodaben to join their mission. The report further states that Jashodaben showed her willingness about joining the team. She appreciated the invite and said that she would like to work for the mission. – OpIndia Staff

According to a report published in Amar Ujala, a team of Christian missionaries recently visited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s estranged wife Jashodaben. Brother Peter Paul, who was one of the visitors, said, “I have heard about her prayers and her loneliness. Her soul-touching story affected me. I heard through newspaper that she is in Mumbai. I searched for her whereabouts and went to meet her with my colleagues.”

“I have worked with Mother Teresa for 10 years. I saw a glimpse of Mother Teresa in Jashodaben”, Paul emphasized. He also added that Jashodaben has same positive aura as Mother Teresa had around her.

Peter and his team have also invited Jashodaben to join their mission. The report further states that Jashodaben showed her willingness about joining the team. She appreciated the invite and said that she would like to work for the mission. However, she also added that the final decision will be taken by her family. Peter stressed that he is not advertising religious conversions, but he wants Jashodaben to help lots of destitute and helpless Hindus by teaching Geeta and Ramayan to them. He believes that it will also help Jashodaben to get liberation from the lifestyle she is living.

It is interesting to note that while Hindu groups are maligning their names by getting involved in redundant regressive proceedings like Ghar Wapasi or Valentine’s Day diktats, Christian missionaries are smartly spreading their messages by helping people to liberate through social activities and self-enlightenment. If Hindu reformer groups keep prioritizing trivial issues over important issues like women upliftment, they will surely be sidelined by all the communities over a period of time. – Opindia, 6 February 2015

Perhaps Mr Modi should pay some attention to the goings-on in his own back yard.

If Jashodaben wants to do social service, there are hundreds of Hindu organisations that would be happy to accommodate her talent. Why have these organisations never taken the initiative to approach her?

If she goes with the Christian missionaries, she will be legitimizing their subversive activities even if she is not directly involved in the evangelizing mission. They will certainly use her name and association with the Prime Minister—however tenuous—to further their own dubious agenda.

Respected Jashodaben lived her life well as a teacher and managed to take care of herself and her family all these years. She must be well aware of the activities of various religions and their motives. I am sure she would help out people where ever necessary.

Tolerance

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — Karl Popper

So, science is really faith-based—is it?

“The difference between people with scientific beliefs and those with religious beliefs,” says prominent biochemist Rupert Sheldrake, “is that most religious believers are aware that their position is based on faith. People who put their faith in scientific materialism are often unaware that their beliefs are beliefs at all.”
